Strategic Portfolio Management

Beyond What ServiceNow Can Do For You—Experience the How and the Why

Ensure your organization consistently invests in initiatives that drive growth and ROI through strategic alignment, optimized product delivery, capital planning, and data-driven risk management

Are you looking for solutions to these common challenges?

  • Ineffective resource allocation due to misalignment between strategic business objectives and the work getting done
  • Absence of real-time visibility forcing you to make gut reactions rather than strategic decisions about plans, priorities, and pivots
  • General lack of transparency and accountability across the enterprise, leading to ineffective communication, collaboration, and value delivery
  • Inability to react quickly/pivot when disruptions occur or the market changes

By 2025, 70% of digital investments will fail to deliver the expected business outcomes due to the absence of a strategic portfolio management (SPM) approach.

Benefits of Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM)

SPM provides a holistic view of the organization’s portfolio—product delivery and tech investment—enabling effective decision-making to drive strategic outcomes, manage risks, and optimize resource allocation across multiple projects and initiatives.

Is your organization hemorrhaging money, harming ROI, and exposing itself to needless risk because you’re not able to make strategic, data-driven decisions fast enough? Is it blocked from pursuing continuous improvement and innovation because you’re investing in the wrong things?

Then SPM could be the missing link. Implementing SPM can provide benefits such as:

Strategic Alignment

Prioritize initiatives and allocate resources based on strategic value to achieve long-term goals.

Risk Mitigation

Reduce exposure and product failures through real-time data visibility, transparent reporting, and robust compliance.

Investment Allocation

Maximize ROI by analyzing needs, eliminating redundancies, and allocating resources to high-priority initiatives.

Adaptability & Agility

Enable quick responses to market changes, customer demands, and new opportunities.

Communication and Collaboration

Improve coordination and alignment among teams, executives, and stakeholders.

Improved Decision-making

Gain full-portfolio visibility for strategic, data-driven decisions on project selection and execution.

Leveraging SPM to Achieve Enterprise Maturity

By 2026, 30% of organizations that embraced effective strategic portfolio management in 2024, investing in both talent and enabling technology, will be industry leaders.

Outcomes Achieved With Successful SPM Implementation

Strategic Portfolio Management helps enterprises put a strategic lens across all projects in their portfolios to drive efficiency and ROI. This allows them to optimize investments, respond quickly to disruptions, and achieve outcomes such as:

Increased revenue

Streamline operations, improve labor and capital allocations, and align strategy to execution to get to value quicker, increase revenue, and boost ROI

Reduced cost

Improve efficiency, eliminate waste, and lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for SaaS/Cloud operations to control costs and enhance ROI further

Minimized risk

Improve visibility into operations to ensure compliance and “future proof the enterprise”

Accelerate innovation to deliver better solutions faster, increasing revenue and reducing costs and risks, creating a cycle of ongoing success.

Your Strategic Blueprint For SPM Success

According to Gartner, “Only 16% of organizations were found to be effective at SPM.” (Gartner, Portfolio Management in the Digital Business Survey) And yet, “Organizations that are highly effective at SPM are twice as likely to achieve better business outcomes than those that are not.” (Gartner, “Predict 2024: Strategic Portfolio Management Leaders”)
